The Italian dailies carried sensational headlines this morning, above reports of a gruesome find: human bone fragments discovered on Monday afternoon during the course of remodelling work inside a locale annexed to the Apostolic Nunciature to Italy.
A statement from the Press Office of the Holy See on Tuesday evening acknowledged the discovery. The statement said the Corps of Gendarmes - the Vatican police - were called to the scene and promptly alerted officials in the Holy See, who immediately passed news of the find to Italian authorities.
